If there's one team that Gallardo usually owns it's the Cubs. Weeks has been playing well lately. He should be in the 5 spot. Francisco should hit 9th. Gallardo is a better hitter than Francisco.

[sheetskout]

This is a big start for Yo and arguably one of the more important single starts of the year. A big start by Gallardo massages his trade value. A bad start on the other hand....

[TooLiveBrew]

Gorzelanny with the sweet ballcap snag of Aramis's 2000th.

 

Great swing from Ramirez.

[saget]

This is getting brutal already. Might be a Jameson night.

[chadomac]

So you've got Schaeffer.... And you've got Gindl. Both ends of the defensive spectrum.

[chickinbrickin]

So you've got Schaeffer.... And you've got Gindl. Both ends of the defensive spectrum.

 

I thought Gindl was actually a good defender. Sure isn't looking like it tonight, but I thought he was supposed to be above average.

[saget]

Is there a more frustrating pitcher to watch than Gallardo? Good lord.

 

Constant 25+ pitch innings, nibbling around the corners like a mouse, full counts to what seems like 75% of the hitters he faces... it gets old.

[The stache]

Is there a more frustrating pitcher to watch than Gallardo? Good lord.

 

Not that I can think of. And I think you hit the nail on the head. He really nibbles too much.

[jjkoestler]

I just turned on the game. How does Yo look tonight?

[brewcrewdue80]

Double Wammy in this game. Yo 4IP, vs. Feldman the Cubs 2nd biggest trade bait I believe.

Yo, 96pitches in 4ip. Just when we were lead to believe he had corrected his problems...or at least had a hang on them.

Sigh.

[vegasbrewcrew1993]

did yo concede any runs?

[vegasbrewcrew1993]

damn i checked and he's basically responsible for all 5 runs. that's very disappointing considering it's the cubs. just when you think he's starting to get into a groove he goes and stinks up the joint. good thing the brewers are playing the cubs. they still have a great chance of winning this game.

[vegasbrewcrew1993]

way to go aramis! he's been worth the money

[brewcrewdue80]

Yo is listed as 3ER out of the 5runs allowed. Weeks had an error that the Cubs proceeded to score on.

[brwrsfan]

So tired of this team. Weeks with an error, than Yo makes a horrible 0-2 pitch to Rizzo and it costs us two runs.

 

And twice tonight, including once in the 8th inning, man on third, 1 out, and we fail to drive him in. Gives Lucroy the green light on 3-0 and he pops up. We have to be the absolute worst team in baseball at hitting a simple sac fly. It doesn't even seem to matter who is up, tonight it's Segura and Lucroy.

 

I'm sure we're probably not, but it just seems like we fail in that spot way more than we succeed. It's just bad baseball all around, simple fundamentals like not making errors, hitting sac flies and not throwing 0-2 pitches to the cleanup hitter right down the middle. And as I'm typing this our two infielders fight over a ball that nobody fields and a runner reaches.

 

Frustrated.

[pebadger]

That HR will only make the 8th inning worse if there is no follow-up.

 

In other news, never remodel your bathroom. Ever.

[vegasbrewcrew1993]

about time francisco did something. if the brewers were capable of hitting a sac fly this game would be tied

[AZBrewCrew]

one run game now!

[vegasbrewcrew1993]

That HR will only make the 8th inning worse if there is no follow-up.

still shaking my head over lucroy swinging 3-0. i wonder if the hitting coach is telling them to swing away or if that was lucrot's decision. nice double by weeks. hopefully they tie this up

[vegasbrewcrew1993]

here we go again. a man on 3rd with 1 out. do it right this time

[brwrsfan]

Well here we go again. Third time tonight. Unfortunately, it's Yuni. Here comes the first pitch pop up I'm sure.

[bigredrobbo]

Hate that sacrifice there, just hate it. Swing away and roll the dice. Did the 8th inning teach us nothing?

[brwrsfan]

Pathetic. At least he hit it well, couple more inches over and that's into left. 2 unearned runs and 3 fails, including the last two innings at a sac fly.

 

Oh and I really hate that we have a guy that can't hit a HR up here too.

[502 to Right]

The sacrifice was crap and going on contact with the infield in even worse. ***?
